Born Only Once, Second Edition: The Miracle of Affirmation

Sustaining Affirmation
In light of many recent critiques of Western modernity and its conceptual foundations, the problem of adequately justifying our most basic moral and political values looms large. Without recourse to traditional ontological or metaphysical foundations, how can one affirm–or sustain–a commitment to fundamentals? The answer, according to Stephen White, lies in a turn to “weak” ontology, an approach that allows for ultimate commitments but at the same time acknowledges their historical, contestable character. This turn, White suggests, is already underway. His book traces its emergence in a variety of quarters in political thought today and offers a clear and compelling account of what this might mean for our late modern self-understanding.
As he elaborates the idea of weak ontology and the broad criteria behind it, White shows how these are already at work in the thought of contemporary writers of seemingly very different perspectives: George Kateb, Judith Butler, Charles Taylor, and William Connolly. Among these thinkers, often thought to be at odds, he exposes the commonalities that emerge around the idea of weak ontology. In its identification of a critical turn in political theory, and its nuanced explanation of that turn, his book both demonstrates and underscores the strengths of weak ontology.

The Spirit of Life: A Universal Affirmation
The fourth book in Jurgen Moltmann’s systematic theology is a full-scale theology of the Spirit that also marks a personal religious quest. Moltmann, “the foremost Protestant theologian in the world” (Church Times), brings his characteristic audacity to this traditional topic and cuts to the heart of the matter with a simple identification: What we experience every day as the spirit of life is the spirit of God. Such considerations give Moltmann’s treatment of the different aspects of life in Spirit a verve and vitality that are concrete and existential: . “When I love God I love the beauty of bodies, the rhythm of movements, the shining of eyes, the embraces, the feelings, the scents, the sounds of all this protean creation . . . The experience of God deepens the experiences of life . . . It awakens the unconditional Yes to life.” Part One probes “Experiences of the Spirit” in daily life as well as in biblical and theological traditions. In Part Two Moltmann takes up the roles of the Spirit in the order of salvation under the aegis “Life in the Spirit.” And Part Three concludes the volume with discussions of “The Fellowship and Person of the Spirit.” Veteran readers of Moltmann will find here a rich and subtle extension of his trinitarian and christological works, even as he makes bold use of key insights from feminist and ecological theologies, from recent stress on embodiment, and from charismatic movements. Newer readers will find a fascinating entree into the heart of Moltmann’s work: the transformative potential of the future. In an age of planetary peril, in a culture often hostile to human, animal, and plant life, Moltmann’s emphatic insistence on the Spirit is a clear call toconscience: The one indispensable element for human survival, he asserts, is an “unconditional affirmation of life” quickened by the Spirit.
The Undercover Yogi: Short Stories, Poems, and Affirmations
This collection of meditated wisdom, poetry, and positive affirmations carries a life-changing message. It is an invaluable spiritual companion for everyone. It includes small gems of poetry, prose, and short stories to inspire the reader to give more time to meditation and to deeply feel the love within the heart. Lance says, “One of the most important things to know is that we are loved so much more than it may seem sometimes, to know that the Universe loves us more than we can imagine. Feeling, remembering, and comprehending the Universe’s love is why we are here. To me, the spiritual, physical, and mental practice of meditation is one of the most strategic ways of dropping into the heart, healing the mind, and synchronizing the two to work together. With meditation, we expand the love in our heart in ways we never could have imagined. In our day-to-day lives, so much stuff can be thrown our way; meditation is always there to center us and to connect with life, love, the Earth, and all things beautiful.”

Affirmation of Poetry (Univocal)
Since the times of Plato and Aristotle, the relation of poetry to philosophy has been controversial. For certain scholars, poetry should in no way be confused with philosophy. For others, poetry is at the heart of the possibility of thinking itself. In Affirmation of Poetry, Judith Balso defends the significance of poetry as a necessary practice for thinking. For Balso, if reading poetry properly has become an obscure task, poetry itself still carries with it a power of thinking: the efforts of the poets must continue. In analyzing the affirmation of thought found within the work of such poets as Osip Mandelstam, Wallace Stevens, Alberto Caeiro, and Giacomo Leopardi, Balso reestablishes poetry’s place as a site of thought.
